Abstract The products of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) metabolism by incubating hypocotyl sections and decapitated seedlings of Lupinus albus were investigated. Single treatments using [1-14C]-IAA, [2-14C]-IAA or [5-3H]-IAA and double treatments using [1-14C]-IAA+[5-3H]-IAA were carried out. Extracts from treated plant material were analyzed by paper chromatography (PC), Thin layer chromatography (TLC), and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). When hypocotyl sections were incubated in [2-14C]-IAA, several IAA decarboxylation products including indole-3-aldehyde (IA1), indole-3-methanol (IM), 3-hydroxymethyloxindole (HMOx), methyleneoxindole (MOx) and 3,3′-bisindolylmethane (BIM) were detected in the 95% ethanol extract; a latter extraction with 1M NaOH rendered IAA, IM and BIM, suggesting that conjugated auxins were formed in addition to conjugated IM. In sections incubated with [1-14C]-IAA, the 1M NaOH extraction also produced IAA so confirming the formation of conjugated auxins. The same decarboxylation products and two conjugated auxins, indole-3-acetylaspartic acid (IAAsp) and 1-O-(indole-3-acetyl)-β-D-glucose (IAGlu), were detected in the acetonitrile extracts from decapitated seedlings treated with [5-3H]-IAA. After a double isotope treatment ([1-14C]-IAA+[5-3H]-IAA) of decapitated seedlings, the ratio 14C/3H measured in the HPLC fractions of the acetonitrile extracts confirmed the presence of decarboxylation products as well as conjugated auxins.
